I caught up with Sebastian Rio for a behind-the-scenes look at his online life.

You’ve announced that you’re no longer filming for porn studios and you’ve shut down your fan-subscription channels. What led you to decide to make that move?

I decided that I wanted to stop doing videos to focus on my personal life. I wanted to give myself time and space without the stress and commitment of making content every week.

I just wanted to have a personal life for me and my husband.

You’re still creating content – your Twitter is as filthy as ever. Are you just doing it for fun now?

Yes, of course. Now, I just post what I want and whenever I want to.

Now, I don’t make content because I have to, I make it because I want to.

I’m not going to stop posting on my social media – I enjoy sharing with my fans and followers.

You began your porn career in 1998. When you look back on your life in porn, what are some of the highlights that stand out for you?

Working for some of the best directors and working with great models, I think has to be what I remember the most.

I loved working for Catalina Video, back in the day. Remember them? It was because I got to work for Catalina Video that I was able to make a name for myself.

It’s great to think back and enjoy those good old times.

What I love about the content that you’re creating now is that you’re really leaning into the Daddy vibe – what is it about Daddy/Son role-play fantasies that appeals to you?

I truly enjoy that I’m a daddy for most.

As I grow older, more and more young guys come to me and call me daddy and tell me that they love my daddy vibe.

It’s never bothered me when younger guys would come and call me daddy. I’ve always liked it – at some point, we all become daddies. We’re all getting older – if we don’t accept who we are then we can’t be happy. I’m happy and I’m okay with getting older – it’s part of life and I love it.

I love the dad and son role play. To me, it’s more about me taking care of the boy and making him feel safe. For the boy, I guess it’s a fantasy, and that’s okay.

Honestly, I have fun with it, and I enjoy watching them get off on the fantasy.

You’ve said that if the right project came up, that you could be tempted back to film some more porn – what kind of production or collaboration would potentially tempt you back from retirement?

I’ve always said that if the right project came along, then I would make more films – I just don’t want to make that my life again. It takes a lot out of you, and I’m happy with where I am now.

I always enjoyed working with Nick Moretti. He’s made some of the best films in recent years, in my humble opinion.

Now, working with other models, It’s hard to say really. I do have a few of my porn-stars friends that I would love to work with in the future. I hope I get to do that at some point, but for now, I’m good where I am.

I’d like to make at least a few more films as a way of saying goodbye and thank you to my fans, for all the support and love that I’ve received from everyone throughout my career.

What are some of your goals and aspirations for the months ahead?

Like a lot of people, I gained a few pounds during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, I’m starting to work on my body – I’m getting back in shape.

Also, I’m in the process of finding a new challenging job – I’m planning to make the move to something that will be different for me.

We’ve all gone through a lot over the last year or so. I truly hope we can get back to some sort of normal in the future.
